Wang Xipei and several maids entered their yard and immediately began to pack their bags. There was no time to take the dowry in the warehouse. The four older maids were busy packing the dowry list, house deeds, land deeds, various business contracts, private seals, and the existing jewelry, silver bills and cash in the yard.
Wang Xipei thought that she couldn't leave without saying goodbye, so she took out the housekeeper's key and placed it on the table, then spread out a piece of paper and wrote the three big words "divorce letter".
Xi Pei really has no choice but to let you publicly humiliate me to this extent. It is impossible for us to live in peace, and I am afraid that we cannot part ways amicably. I will probably cause trouble for you again.
Then I thought, at worst, after the divorce, I can just not live at home anymore, so as not to embarrass my parents. I can travel around and see the world, go to southern Yunnan to see Luo Yunyan, then go to the frontier to see the lonely smoke in the desert, go to the East China Sea to see the bright moon rising over the sea, go to the land of fish and rice to see the ten-mile wheat waves, there are so many delicious things in different places. Thinking of this, my heart relaxed again.
Her courtyard was kicked open. Several guards filed in, and the Fifth Prince came in with a sullen face.
The gate and courtyard were closed in broad daylight. When the gatekeeper saw the house from afar, she did not bow and open the door, but ran to report the news.
The fifth prince's anger rose again.
When I entered the room, I saw Wang Xipei and the four older maids standing aside with their heads bowed. Usually, they would come over and greet them, but now they just stood there silently.
The fifth prince sat down and first saw the butler's key and the three big words on the white paper.
Then he looked at Wang Xipei. Is she thin? Is the food in the mansion bad? She's the housekeeper, so why doesn't she find a chef she likes? She's asked to cook every other day, but doesn't she taste the food herself?
She wants to divorce again... Forget it. It was Jiayu who started the trouble today, and I just cooperated with Jiayu. Now the little girl is angry.
However, Jiayu will be the mistress of the house in the future, so she has to learn to endure... I will treat her well. I have wronged her before, and today too, but as long as she is willing to lower her head, I will treat her very well in the future. Jiayu just wants face. It is enough for her and her son to have a place to live and someone to take care of them.
The Fifth Prince suppressed his anger and said, "Go to the Third Prince's residence and apologize to your Third Sister-in-law."
Xi Pei was silent.
The fifth prince stood up and said, "I'll take you there. She won't make things difficult for you."
The fifth prince felt that he had a good voice and good temper, and wanted to take her hand and take her to apologize.
Wang Xipei took two steps back and hid his hand in his wide sleeves.
The fifth prince felt that his anger was getting worse and worse: "Hasn't he made enough trouble?"
Then he said, "You don't want your third sister-in-law to come and apologize to you, do you?"
Silence, Wang Xipei has long known what it means to have nothing to say.
The fifth prince was furious: "Speak! What do you want?"
Wang Xipei said, "I want to stay away from the Fifth Prince and Miss Ren as much as possible. It would be best if I never see them again in this life."
The Fifth Prince looked at her, seething with rage. "What if I refuse? What if I demote my wife to a concubine and marry Ren Jiayu, leaving you to serve my husband and mistress day and night?"
Wang Xipei also looked at him: "Xipei is not a concubine."
The fifth prince sneered: "That's not up to you." He really has not suffered enough and doesn't know how to submit.
Wang Xipei also smiled. In that case...it’s a pity that I haven’t seen those famous mountains and rivers yet.
A smile that can conquer the whole city, these four words suddenly popped up in the Fifth Prince's mind.
Wang Xipei pulled out a hairpin and stabbed it straight into her chest. The Fifth Prince reached out to stop her, but Xipei raised her foot and kicked the Fifth Prince hard.
The fifth prince felt pain and bent backward, but his hand was still tightly holding the hairpin, but he felt his hand was empty.
It turned out that Wang Xipei had let go of her hand and quickly pulled out another hairpin from her head. While the Fifth Prince was dumbfounded, she had already stabbed it into her chest.
Luo Yunyan was right. Before Wang Xipei closed her eyes, she patted her purse and said, "Please ask my brother to take me home..."
Wang Xipei woke up again and found that she was neither in her familiar boudoir at home nor in her own courtyard in the palace, until she saw Queen Zhang Ru.
It turns out that he has come to the Queen's Palace. If I had known this, I would have listened to the Fifth Princess and come directly.
Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appeared. The face of the Fifth Princess flashed behind Zhang Ru: "Xi Pei, you're awake! You scared me to death."
Zhang Ru asked the imperial physician to come and see her. He changed the prescription and had someone bring her some red date and donkey-hide gelatin soup. After seeing Xi Pei drink it, she said, "Your parents and siblings miss you very much. However, since your father and brother are outsiders in my inner chambers, it will be inconvenient. I'll ask your mother and sister to come and see you tomorrow."
He asked the Fifth Princess to accompany him and told her not to talk too much and waste her attention before leaving.
As soon as the Queen left, the Fifth Princess said, "You have no idea how serious this incident has become. Your eldest brother went to the palace to take you home, but he refused to let you go. Your eldest sister was so anxious that she went to the palace to look for her mother overnight."
The next day, Minister Wang stayed in the court and asked His Majesty to give an oral order so that their parents, brothers and sisters could go to the palace to visit their daughter. Now they didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and they couldn't see her.
The Emperor, the Empress, your parents, and your brothers and sisters all went to Fifth Brother's house. Minister Wang proposed to take you back to your parents' home, but Fifth Brother refused, saying that since you were his wife, you should recuperate in the palace.
Your sister said that she heard that when the Fifth Prince expressed his feelings to his Third Emperor's wife, he said in public that he had never regarded my sister as a wife, but only as a servant. Since she was a servant, it was normal for her to go out and recuperate when she was sick and not at the master's house.
Fifth Brother was so upset that he was speechless for a long time. But without the order from the Emperor and Fifth Brother, his guards would not retreat, and your parents and siblings had no way to take you away.
In the end, it was the Queen Mother who came forward and said that you were too seriously injured and it would be most appropriate for you to go to the palace and be cared for by the Imperial Hospital. She asked your parents and siblings if they would be willing to let her take you to the palace to recuperate.
Your parents and siblings all agreed. The Empress then arranged for you to move your bed, but Fifth Brother, with his thick head, refused to comply. Father was furious, asking if he dared to disobey the Empress and whether he would have the Imperial Guard transferred to Fengfu.
"My fifth brother retreated only after seeing the emperor's statement. Later, the emperor summoned me for questioning, asking about what happened that day. I was terrified."
After hearing this, Wang Xipei asked, "How are my four maids?"
